This drive is "hot p luggable" under Windows 95 and That means you can ough both these machines have CD attach, operate, and detach the drive to writing technology at their root, they either the parallel port or PC Card slot if you are quite different in just about all have the adapter without having to reboot other technical aspects, so what follows is the computer which is all well and good if not a comparison as much as it is an evalua- it works.
And it works extremely well. Having been loyal to my Syjet cartridge drive for several years, my experience o recording CDs was limited to evaluating machines back in the old days when the immaturity of the technology made the process of engineeringand that's what it quite literally amounted to your own discs a nightmare. With theBackpack 4x 4x 20x, however, I had recorded my first data disc 10 minutes after taking the drive out of the box.
Simply plug it into the parallel port and power outlet, install the drivers and software and you' re ready. My first disc was created so quickly 80 MB of data copied from multiple directories off the hard drive in under two Backpack CD-RW 4x 4a 20x minutes that I thought something must From: Microsolutions have gone wrong.
I immediately checked the Tel: And it was! Virtually all products from Microsolutions Part of my success is attributable to are external and are almost always config- Microsolutions' succinct Quick Start guide, ured to use the parallel port i nterface.
The single software disc of proprietary engineering applied to both includes: Direct CD, which lets you use your hardware and software. All of its products CD-RW drive like any other disk drive for file tested to date have performed quite compet- transfer, storage or backup; Easy CD Creator, a Wizard-based program for creating music itively as a result.
This is avery good perfonnance com- music industry and software industrypared with any drive currently available, and quiver because of its simplicity. Also, unless you already have a SCSI card installed, you will have to install and configure th e i n t erface before you can install and configure the drive. Due to t h ese more convoluted set up requirements, you will not be.
E v e n though I am experienced in setting up computer devices, it took me more than an hour before I could begin my first test of TEAC drive. Part of that time, of course, was taken up by having to open the computer case to physically install the SCSI card. Once both components are installed and configured, however, the SCSI card and machine work extremely well together, but again, thanks largely to the Adaptec software bundle.
I found through experimenting, however, that there were no error messages when I dropped the writing speed to Zx. While making a CD was fairly simple, creating an illustrated and titled jewel-case insert using the template provided with the software for both drives proved difficult. The file format is proprietary and the controls are non-intuitive, to the point of profound frustration in accomplishing even the simplest of tasks. Choosing between these two very nice recorders is difficult, but their differences may help you find the drive that best suits your anticipated needs.
The Backpack is easy and relatively fast to set up and use, although it's at its best doing file and data transfers because of the speed restrictions imposed by the parallel interface.
The fact that it rewrites is an advantage for backup and storage tasks because you don' t have to use a fresh disc every time. With its Coenparleons One major difference between the TEAC and parallel interface, this machine is also ideal t he Microsolutions drives is t h a t t h e for those with more than one computer as it Backpack reads, writes and rewrites, while can be easily connected and installed.
The the TEAC only reads and writes. Rewriting PC Card version is a niche productbut may requires a different component technology be attractive to notebook computer users. During the creation of but is equally easy to use once configured.
Under ideal condi without the use of specific third-party soft- tions, this drive records faster, making it an ware. Yamosrei We encountered some problems setting the printer up, which were not helped by a driver that crashed our system every time we booted the computer with the PC Card inserted.
After Brother sent us an updated driver, the printer was trouble free. When you install the printer, you select that port if you are using the PC Card interface, and LPT 1 if you are using the regular parallel cable.
The MP21Cdx comes with a detachable sheet paper tray, which clips on the back of the printer and doubles its thickness the MP21C is the same unit without the tray. The unit works very well and feeds individual sheets smoothly i nt o t h e p r i nter. First is its single-cable access to a notebook computer. No more packing along a thick parallel cable and a bulky AC adapter.
This tiny color inkjet printer communicates with the computer and draws its power through a PC Card interface. Its second attractive feature is its weight: at 1 kg 2. Without the paper tray, feeding individual sheets into the printer requires a deft touch. The printer guide is quite short, and we found that we had to support the paper until the rollers had grabbed it.
The printer uses a two-cartridge system, with black and cyan in one cartridge and magenta and yellow in another. The blackcyan cartridge is larger, providing more capacity for printing text in black. But "larger" is a relative term, as both cartridges are a lot smaller than what you would find in a desktop printer not surprising given the overall size of the printer itself.
A Brother representative says cartridge life is rated at about pages at five percent ink coverage , although we burned through a set of cartridges after printing out just a few large photographs admittedly photographs are notorious ink hogs. Au systems are tested and burned-in for 4S Itours before shippmg.

The printer is rated at x dots per inch, and print quality is quite good, especially for text. Even at the middle setting it offers a choice of draft, normal and high quality modes the text output is as good as that from many full-size inkjet printers.
It' s good enough that you could print out a sales list or contract with this unit and not be embarrassed to present it to a client. Photographic output, while not matching that of aphotodluality" printers, was nonetheless quite impressive. The only noticeable flaw in printouts of a photograph and a PowerPoint color slide was a slight banding, which made some areas ofthe image particularly patches of solid colorslook like they had been printed on paper with a corduroy texture.
We' ve seen this on other printers, so it is not a problem unique to the Brother unit. While print quality is surprisingly good for such a small unit, print speed is not the MP's strong suit.

The latest film-to-digital bridge is in the form of a simple check box. By selecting it when dropping film off for processing, photographers can have their images digitized and processed traditionally, ln Canada, consumers can choose to receive the digital images on CD-ROM or floppies, or to access them on Kodak's new Internet service in addition to receiving prints.
Picture CD jointly developed by Kodak, Intel and Adobe includes easy-to-use photo imaging software on the disc with the highresolution images.
This option includes viewing software, but to fit one roll of film on a single floppy, the image resolution is lowered. Kodak says Picture Disk images are suitable for online viewing.
If consumers select the Photonet option, they receive a passcode to access their images online. Consumers can then share the pass number with faraway friends or relatives, who can log onto the Photonet site to see the images.
